Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Michael W. Gray mainly focuses on Genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Genome, Gene and Ribosomal RNA. His study in Phylogenetics, Plastid, RNA, Intron and Multicellular organism falls under the purview of Genetics. His Mitochondrial DNA research incorporates elements of Protist and Mitochondrion, Mitochondrial fission.

His Genome research integrates issues from Evolutionary biology, Symbiogenesis and Organelle. In the subject of general Gene, his work in DNA replication and mitochondrial fusion is often linked to mtDNA control region and Reclinomonas, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Michael W. Gray has included themes like Intergenic region, Protein subunit, Transfer RNA, Respiratory chain and Ribosome in his Ribosomal RNA study.

His most cited work include:

  • An ancestral mitochondrial DNA resembling a eubacterial genome in miniature (539 citations)
  • Mitochondrial Genome Evolution and the Origin of Eukaryotes (535 citations)
  • The endosymbiont hypothesis revisited. (496 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Michael W. Gray mainly investigates Genetics, Gene, Mitochondrial DNA, Ribosomal RNA and RNA. Genome, Nucleic acid sequence, Mitochondrion, Transfer RNA and RNA editing are the primary areas of interest in his Genetics study. His Genome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics and Plastid.

His research in Gene focuses on subjects like Acanthamoeba castellanii, which are connected to Amoebozoa. His Mitochondrial DNA research includes themes of Restriction fragment, Genomic organization, Repeated sequence and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Molecular biology and Ribosome.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (70.63%)
  • Gene (39.68%)
  • Mitochondrial DNA (38.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Genetics (70.63%)
  • Mitochondrion (22.22%)
  • Mitochondrial DNA (38.49%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Genetics, Mitochondrion, Mitochondrial DNA, Gene and Genome. His study involves RNA editing, Transfer RNA, Phylogenetics, Eukaryote and RNA, a branch of Genetics. His RNA research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ribosomal RNA, Nucleic acid, Computational biology and Molecular biology.

His studies deal with areas such as Euglena and Ribosomal protein as well as Ribosomal RNA. The study incorporates disciplines such as Proteome, Organelle, Phylogenetic tree and Protein family in addition to Mitochondrion. His Genome research incorporates themes from Ribosome and Euglenid.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Algal genomes reveal evolutionary mosaicism and the fate of nucleomorphs. (280 citations)
  • Algal genomes reveal evolutionary mosaicism and the fate of nucleomorphs. (280 citations)
  • Strikingly Bacteria-Like and Gene-Rich Mitochondrial Genomes throughout Jakobid Protists (166 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

Michael W. Gray spends much of his time researching Genetics, Phylogenetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Genome and Plastid. He performs integrative Genetics and Constructive research in his work. His Phylogenetics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as RNA, RNA editing, DNA and Organelle.

His Mitochondrial DNA study combines topics in areas such as Gene cluster, Mitochondrion and Histiona. His Genome study results in a more complete grasp of Gene. His work carried out in the field of Plastid brings together such families of science as Cryptophyta, Host cell cytosol and Eukaryote.
